You were sick of all the mosquitoes surrounding your house so you got yourself a bug zapper. The local fairy population has seen this as a threat made against them. You have angered your local fae militia and will soon face their full wrath. After your house is consumed by carpenter ants you have no choice but to run, but your nearest neighbor is 3 miles away.

The creatures outside my window are so loud tonight. Thousands of voices, some from different species, yet it is still a calming harmony.

They tell me I am full of sin. Tied down, forced to watch as their crosses etch into my skin. Their holy water burns and blisters.
"We are saving you. HE is saving you."

midwestern horror au! cryptid! Ghost x F! reader
Drawn by the sight of antlers peeking through the dense forest, you decide to explore the mysterious woods surrounding the town. As you pass the house in front of yours, a subtle shift in the wind catches your attention, blowing just a little harder in the opposite direction. It's almost as if a whispering warning urges you to reconsider your path. Ignoring the uncanny sensation, you press on, your curiosity fueled by the allure of the forest.
As you venture deeper, the daylight gradually fades, unnoticed in your singular focus on finding the elusive deer. The woods grow darker, and the once-familiar sounds of the town give way to the hushed symphony of rustling leaves and distant echoes. Realizing that you've lost your way, panic sets in. The realization dawns on you that darkness has descended, and the forest, once enchanting, now becomes an impenetrable maze.
Frantically, you look around but all the directions look the same. Suddenly, a chilling sensation runs down your spine as you hear rustling behind you. Your breath catches in your throat, and you strain to identify the source of the sound. There, in the oppressive darkness, a rough, deep breathing noise cuts through the silence. It's an ominous presence, unseen and unknown, lurking just beyond the veil of shadows. Dread clutches at your heart as the realization sinks in – you’re not alone…
Heart pounding, you decide to call out for help, hoping that the sound of your voice will bring someone to your aid. As your pleas echo through the silent woods, the unsettling breathing seems to draw closer. Panic intensifies as you look around, scanning the shadows for any sign of assistance. A snapping sound pierces the air, causing you to freeze in fear.
In the dim light, you catch a glimpse of what seems to be antlers, briefly appearing and disappearing like ethereal specters. Your mind races with confusion as you try to comprehend the surreal sight. Before you can make sense of it, a figure emerges from the darkness – a man wearing a hood, his features obscured. Fear grips you as you lock eyes with the mysterious stranger. The breath catches in your throat as you realize that the antlers were a mere illusion, a disconcerting trick played by the shadows.
The hooded man approaches slowly, and a tense silence envelops the forest. Questions swirl in your mind as you confront the enigmatic presence before you, unsure of the intentions that lie beneath the hood. The air becomes charged with uncertainty, and the once-inviting woods now seem to conceal secrets that are both perplexing and unnerving.
As you let out a trembling breath in the cold, the mist hangs in the air, a visible testament to your fear. The hooded man, though he doesn't reveal his face, takes a step closer, his presence casting an ominous shadow in the dimly lit woods. In a gruff voice, laced with a subtle accent, he breaks the tense silence, "Are you lost?" The question hangs in the frosty air, leaving you to grapple with the uncertainty of this mysterious encounter. Despite the offer of assistance, a shiver runs down your spine, as the hooded figure's intentions remain veiled beneath the concealment of darkness.
With a hesitant nod, you acknowledge the hooded man's offer of guidance. He gestures in a direction with a subtle inclination of his head, signaling for you to follow. As you walk through the dense woods, his silhouette leading the way, you can't shake the feeling of unease. However, a sense of relief washes over you when, after what feels like an eternity, you both emerge from the haunting shadows of the forest.
In the clearing, your house stands bathed in the faint glow of dim lights. The tension eases as you step into the familiarity of your surroundings. The hooded man finally reaches up and pulls his hood down, revealing disheveled dirty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. A moment of recognition flickers between you, the mysterious stranger now unmasked. The forest has relinquished its hold on the secrets that lingered within, leaving you to grapple with the enigmatic encounter and the lingering questions that accompany the night.
"Thank you..." you breathe, your gratitude palpable in the quiet night air. The hooded man meets your gaze with those intense blue eyes, a silent acknowledgment passing between you.
"Simon,"
he said suddenly, breaking the silence that lingered between you. "I live in this house," he gestured to the dwelling across from yours. You blinked for a moment, the revelation settling in, but then a warm smile graced your lips. "I just moved in... thanks for saving me," you express your gratitude, the shared experience forging an unexpected connection between you and your mysterious neighbor. The night, once fraught with fear, now holds the promise of newfound acquaintances and the potential for unraveling the secrets that enshroud this peculiar town.
Simon's eyes soften, a subtle shift in emotion that goes unnoticed by you. Nevertheless, a genuine smile plays on his lips as you extend an invitation, welcoming him into your home as a token of gratitude for his timely intervention.

Two months had passed since that fateful night, and you couldn't help but notice Simon's increasing presence in your life. He seemed to find reasons to be by your side, a constant companion in this mysterious town. However, his own house remained perpetually dark, and on some nights, you'd discover your window left ajar.
The haunting memories of that night in the woods had kept you from returning, the fear of getting lost lingering in your mind. However, a series of unsettling experiences begin to unfold. In the dead of the night, you wake up to what feels like hands grabbing at you, phantom voices calling and beckoning for you to return to the woods. The very air seems to push you in the direction of the haunting forest, as if an unseen force is compelling you to confront the mysteries that await within its depths.

As dread seizes your senses, you instinctively retreat, seeking safety behind the shelter of a tree. Your breath hastens as you attempt to calm the racing rhythm of your heart. Alas, to your terror, the creature detects your presence. In a swift, unnatural motion, it twists its head at an eerie angle to meet your gaze.
Under the moon's glow, a ghastly sight unfolds—a skull-like mask seems fused to its visage, the pallid, decaying flesh clinging grotesquely to the mask. Antlers jut from the creature's skull, their tips emerging from it’s head. This chilling spectacle immobilizes you as you behold the eerie fusion of death and the supernatural before you. The forest now unveils a repulsive and malevolent entity that stares back at you, its mere presence sending shivers down your spine.

As you stare in horror at the nightmarish being before you, a jolt of recognition races through your veins. Amidst the horrifying features and the terrifying mask, the creature's unmistakable blue eyes cut through the darkness. A surge of disbelief overwhelms you, realizing that these eyes belong to Simon—your neighbor who had always been a steady, reassuring presence in your life. The juxtaposition of the familiar and the monstrous grips you with a blend of dread and bewilderment, as the once-soothing blue eyes now reflect an unearthly malevolence.
“Simon?”
In a strange turn of events, the creature's tousled dirty blonde hair shimmers in the eerie moonlight, and seemingly guided by an unseen force, its bones crack and realign to their original form. Facing you now is Simon, once a source of comfort, but now a disturbing presence. The eerie skull mask remains fused to his skin, a chilling blend of the supernatural and the familiar. The formerly benevolent neighbor has become a being from another realm, forcing you to confront the unsettling truth unfolding deep within the enigmatic woods. Bathed in an otherworldly light from the moon, you confront Simon—formerly known for his piercing blue eyes, now hidden behind a sinister mask that appears to merge with his very flesh.

A mock-up of the Midwest Gothic Oracle deck box and card. This illustration features one of my favorites, The Creaking Floorboard. It’s subtle, but unsettling. Stared at the wooden boards on the porch of my favorite coffee shop as reference. Anyway, we’re a bit over half way funded in the first week and that’s awesome as hell.
